It all goes back to their experiences and what they've seen. Each one sees things differently and sees different things. Even though they're always together on the same mission, that is to keep the clock moving forward, their internal feelings and external outlooks are different from each other. For instance,
The two guys here are in the same position, namely upside down. They are facing two different communities but looking at them in the same way, namely upside down. The man on the left is looking towards Adams Morgan, and he sees a struggling daytime business district sitting on the sky. That sometimes depresses him and sometimes makes him happy. The one on the right is looking towards Columbia Heights. There, he sees a bustling daytime business district, but he misses La Casa Shelter on Irving Street. The shelter was torn down to make way for expensive condos. He wonders why that could happen as he sits atop All Souls Church, that has been struggling in its communities for decades to secure housing and shelter for people in the community.
Let's call Adams Morgan's man, who faces west, #1; and Columbia Heights' man facing east will be called #2. Got a better idea?
